/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I'm thinking I would go with either, "swing it, baby" or "right on, sister!"

So, like-

"Mr. Nartik, set course for Tau Alpha III. Warp six."

"Course laid in, sir."

"Right on, sister!"

This would be the 23rd or 24th century gender-neutral form of the word sister, obviously.

(But how do they plot a course?)

I love the theory that these guys are basically the origins of the Borg. They kept gathering technology that they didn't understand and at one point the technology took over them, then time travel or some non-sense sent one of their ships back in time, boom! Borg born.

Edit: Also the image of them being like "We are smart Borg. Resistance is dumb. You will give us your stuff." is definitely the best part of this theory

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Haha. I never heard that before, but it's great.

Although, considering they blew up Pakled Planet by accident, I don't know that they would survive long enough to do it.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I absolutely love that as well

I'm not going to tell Captain Reno how to run their ship, but I really don't think Dr. Culber should be at the helm.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ha. Medical officer at the helm is really stretching the limits of the omnidisciplinary scienteist/doctor character.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That said, the Kobiyashi Maru episode of Prodigy had holographic Beverly Crusher as First Officer.

Mainly because they couldn't get anyone else, but...

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I need to go back and watch Prodigy. I started it but didn't get past the first few episodes. Didn't dislike it, but was busy IRL at the time and just haven't gone back to watch the rest.

Crusher also pilots the Enterprise in that bubble universe she was stuck in, but I think that was more telling the computer to do it (memory is fuzzy on the specifics of that episode which is ironically titled 'Remember Me').

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I felt the same way about Prodigy, especially because the first two or three episodes are a bit shaky, but once it gets going, it's pretty great.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

She commanded the Enterprise during Descent, so she’s obviously gone through the process to qualify to stand watch at some point in the past. She takes out a Borg ship, so she’s pretty good at it, too.

Whelp, it's about that time.

The ship will actually depart in about 45 minutes.

Its continuing mission: to explore strange new ice rinks; to seek out new syrup and new ways to apologize to everyone; to coldly go where no one has gone before.

The only Star Trek show with a theme dominated by banjo.

(Faith of the Heart Banjo Cover)

Of course that's a thing that exists.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I didn't think I could hate the banjo. I was wrong.

I like Ortegas’ version: ¡Vamos! But i would put my own spin on it with a little bit of Data.

I’d say “Vamoose, ya little varmint!”

A primal scream that is utterly unwriteable; would only be described as:

“Into the abyss of agony, a guttural roar echoes, tearing through the very fabric of existence. A primal cry, born of anguish and despair, reverberates across the vast expanse, a tempest of raw emotion unleashed upon the world. The air quivers with the force of it, as if the universe itself recoils in awe at the sheer intensity of the soul-shattering sound.”

“Oh yeah, that’s our Captain Targz. He’s kinda weird but he gets shit done. But we like working with him. You get used to the roar; I mean yeah who wouldn’t want Admiral Picard’s ‘Engage’ but whatever. Go means go.”

I think, realistically, I'd probably have few in rotation, but they be variations on, "Well then, at your convenience, Mr. Paris."

Fart sounds. On the shipwide PA system.

This just made me realize the first 15 seconds of the Cowboy Bebop theme would be a killer way to do this. "3, 2, 1, Let's Jam"

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

"Begin". I feel like terseness is a virtue on the command deck.
